To The Moon

Hello fellow 🐯🐯🐯, today I’m excited to share about a topic that I’ve been researching in the AUS & US stock markets for several months now-Buying Stocks Based on Company Buyouts/Mergers.

After Powell’s speech & the market sell-offs, I think we all need something happy/optimistic for us to look forward to😅 & I hope this post will help🤓😃

🤔💭How Can We Get Somewhat “Free” Money like Warren Buffet💵💵💵⁉️

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The strategy is simple: Buy stocks that has a company buyout/merger offer (with strong fundamentals of course), wait for the deal to close & 🥳 pocket the difference between the offer price & its current stock price‼️

⭐️ With the market sell-offs, it might just be the right time to buy some of these stocks if they’re going at a great price😉

⭐️ Instead of looking at our red portfolio & get all emotional, or *buying the dip to average down our cost price for our stocks steeped in BIG losses*, sometimes buying a stock that has great potential to succeed will yield better results & help lessen our losses overall🤓 I’ve had some success doing this & will share about my experience when I have time to post about it😉

*📝Note: Buying the dip to average down our cost price is an excellent strategy for stocks that pays high dividends on a consistent basis. I use this strategy to increase the % of my dividend yield too & I’m not referring to these stocks🤓*

🤔💭Which US Companies have a Pending Buyout/Merger Offer❓

Microsoft (MSFT) announced a buyout offer in January 2022 for Activision Blizzard $Activision Blizzard(ATVI)$valuing its shares at around $95 per share. The buyout offer is still awaiting approval but buying ATVI shares for any value below $95 is so called "Free Money". The current price is $78.63 so you stand to gain 20.8%🥳🥳🥳 Even Buffett is looking for easy gains with the S&P 500 down this year. Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB) is the number 1 holder of this stock with 8.7% of the shares outstanding.

Another company that is the subject of a takeover is VMware $VMware(VMW)$Broadcom (AVGO) is offering $142.50 and VMW is currently trading at $118.71, a possible gain of around 20%‼️VMW shareholders will elect to receive either $142.50 in cash or 0.2520 shares of Broadcom common stock for each VMware share.

Other companies pending takeover bids include HP (HPE) bidding for Plantronics $Plantronics Inc.(POLY)$;Google (GOOGL, GOOG) buying Mandiant $Mandiant(MNDT)$;& Amazon (AMZN) buying 1life Healthcare (ONEM).

⚠️Risks Alert: (1) Buyout/Merger offers may fall through or go through rounds of negotiations.

(2) Takeover bids may end up in court e.g. Twitter.

⭐️ If you’re interested to get this “Free Money”, be sure to do your own research on past buyout/merger offers to understand the risks & possible gains!
